I think it's this:

[TRAJ]
...
DEFAULT_VELOCITY = 0.xxx

For me it seems to set the initial jog slider setting. Although, you
should not be able to jog beyond operational limits if your other
settings are correct.
Such as:
your.ini

MAX_VELOCITY = x.xxx

HI,
What actually controls the jogging speed? - I'm sure I knew but my brain
is in Estop just now When I start up Axis, the jogging speed sliders
are at ridiculously high values and, if I forget to change them then the
axes give up half way through a move losing my position. G0 works fine
You need to use the Xinerama extension to X for multiple combined displays.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/index.html <- XF86Config is xorg.conf
you can definitely restart X with `sudo killall X`
otherwise it looks like you have the right idea.

Ok - I got the photo to g-code program changed so it does not need a

Got it to work with in-memory SQLite. Incidental that is the same DB that
liberty-basic uses.

What are you using for the differential driver chip? Is it
totem-pole output or open-collector

After a fair amount of grief, I got dual screens working on my office
EMC computer. I started by adding a PCI card and monitor to the
computer. As far as I could tell, Ubuntu has no display setup wizard
other than the screen resolution dialog, so after making a backup, I
changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf

I wanted to have a real motor/encoder system for my office EMC instead
of using a simulated configuration. So, ruined a surplus printer to get
the motor/encoder assembly, which I connected to an L298 and a +12 Volt
motor supply. When I got to testing it, I had a hard time with tuning.
On occasion,
Follow rest ... Now why didn't I think of that.
Thanks, guys.

You are spot on about letting the stepper float. I had been turning
that one around in my head to see if that would be an option.

Ahhh.
If it's slightly off center, drilling the center hole will tend towards
the center. Then, let the tailstock take up the slop.
I know what you mean about light cuts. I've tightened up the bearings

I'm interested in getting the "fix" if it is not something that I can d/l from
